BEAUTIFUL

No blade, song, pencil or form of art

Could ever relieve my stress and pain

Uplift my soul and elevate my mind

Gently caress my ever-delicate heart

The way I’ve found she does

It could be the freckles that dot her nose

Or the way she holds my tiny hands

Maybe the way my heart flutters by the sound of her voice

The comfort of her petting me; her hands tangled within my golden strands

It’s like my heart stops when our gaze meets

And for a small moment

Her kind eyes make me forget everything in the past

My whole life makes seems complete; I feel as if it’s really been time well spent

Up until these moments without her

The endless nights of tears

All but gone; forgotten; nothing

Her whole existence rids my mind of fear

Her caring touch silences the voices

Calming my every concern and doubt

I’ve never felt this way

Now I know what the craze over love is all about

I feel so lucky

So blessed beyond compare

She’s everything I never knew I needed

My heart no longer lay bare
